hi guys:)

just bought a 2003 Waja 4g18 AT from my brother..

I have been reading around and was wondering if anyone can help make my mind up

I was thinking of changing the air filter to the open pod apexi dual funnel intake, has anyone done that?

How is the noise level? How much more fuel does it use? Is it worth it?

my car is currently fully stock still lol.

Why would it be bad for a stock exhaust system though?

Thanks for the response zen and termi..

so maybe I should go for the K&N 33-2074 drop in.. is that the right model?

Also, I was thinking of either leather wrapping or buying a better condition steering wheel.. I like the ergonomics of it but the stupid cheap baseball steering lock scratched the steering wheel like crazy..

Any suggestions on where to either leather wrap or change the steering wheel?


thx:)

My buttons on the keys are like deflated already.. anyone replaced OEM key and remote?

most body kits makes the car looks worse IMO.. just me 2 cents:P

yea, I kinda like the MME bumper something that is subtle and neat. Probably have a rear bumper with diffuser painted black would be neat too.

lol.. something is wrong here

I got 225km for RM50 for my last pump.. thats a massive 22 cents / km.

and that's after I serviced the car.. it was doing like 180km for RM50 petrol b4 that.

hopefully it improves ler..

If not mistaken i am using a 10w30 semi syn engine oil.. my mechanic said better not use fully syn cos it will leak between the gasket rings / evaporate in our hot temp?

Is that correct?

what offers the best performance from your opinion guys?

always rev to 7k rpm at least once a week Makes the car happy..

yea.. auto 4g18 does 110kmh at 2800rpm

on the way back on connaught highway today was following a perdana which flashed and honk as if the road was his..

couldnt resist the urge to follow there goes my economy fuel run!


reached 190kmh and easily tailed him till the toll..

anyone knows where to leather wrap the steering wheel? Any shops to recommend?

thanks zen.. i will go look in zth..

Also if anyone looking for cheap and reasonably decent tinting, I have just tinted my car for rm180 from a contact in LYN.. very much recommended

they have 5 branches.. I did mine at bandar sri permaisuri.. will post up some pics if I have the time

If im not mistaken, the 2009 CPS uses the same gear box the Mitsubishi one..

Added on August 14, 2009, 11:57 amGuys.. need some advice..

To flush gear box how many litter of ATF would i need?
What engine oil is recommended? Mobil 1 is ok?

Is Bendix metal king good? How is the cold braking performance?

My side mirror (just the mirror) vibrates quite badly? is there any DIY fixes?


Thanks!

btw, isnt all protons since the waja (AT) using the Mitsubishi F4A42 four-speed INVECS-II automatic transmission?

my radiator top cracked yesterday on my way to work..

saw steam coming out from the front of my car.. and the temp shoot to the next marker.. im guessing 100+C?

waited a while at the side of the road.. then drove to office and filled the radiator full.. managed to drive to my usual workshop lucky me nothing else gone..

total damage : rm 250 = rm175 for radiator top, rm30 for top and bottom rubber seals and rm45 for workmanship..

and the door handle broke when i got the car back! :


Thats going to cost me rm45 again.. finally, all door handles are broken lol

Yea, my windows regulator was changed to metal one too for the driver side. The motor fried too cos was stupid enough to keep trying

what was last year, cost rm435..

The motor + brackets i think.. but yea, still remember the pain man..

I think the sound is caused by the belts? Mine started making that sound recently only.. or perhaps we are talking about different sounds

i was too free and started reading the waja 4g18 manual.. did you realise it recommends that we use 20w50 engine oil and lower viscosity oil would void the warranty?
